So I edited this story. And I wanna share on thought on language, & telling the truth We talked about: the "government is lying to you" It may sound saucy. It may sound like opinion But it's just true And if something is true then you should just say it, clearly That's just good journalism

Okie! I like to start with something we've pretty much all experienced. Imagine a TV show that's really popular but you just don't find it compelling. It's not that you hate the show. It's just not your cup of tea. Maybe you even watched it and were just whelmed. But everyone else is obsessed!

I-638 discriminates against girls and puts them at risk of harm. Over 100 WA pediatricians, family doctors and nurses say I-638’s new sex inspection requirements will force them to conduct medically unnecessary and potentially harmful tests on girls. Vote NO on I-638 when your ballot arrives.

A screenshot of a news article from KOMO News is on a pale orange background. The header image is a high school girls soccer team huddling on the field in sky blue uniforms. The article’s headline states: What’s at stake: voters to decide on girls’ sports issue this November. The excerpt from the article reads: "We're putting the burden on girls (who want to play sports) as a justification for this witch-hunt to find trans girls who want to play sports with their friends," she said. "It's really incredibly unfair." In fact, Hipp said she does not believe that this initiative is about girls' safety at all.“ A dark orange footer says “Vote No on I-638.”

If you're willing to sell out trans kids for theoretical votes I have to assume you'd sell out anyone for theoretical votes, so, yes, I do think supporting sports bans means you get not a fucking thing from me.

Phil Scott seems like a decent guy. Decent guys don’t continue to run under the GOP banner. Leading more and more voters to consciously or sub to assume perhaps he isn’t a decent guy.

Since Alaskans adopted top-four primaries and ranked choice voting, legislative elections feature closer margins, more viable candidates, and more challengers unseating incumbents. @alvanderklipp.bsky.social

That’s good news for Alaskans of all political stripes—and an example for voters elsewhere of how to get more choice at their own ballot box.

The most important political task in America is clawing back wealth from the very rich. The most important ballot measure in America is the California billionaire tax. Oligarchy is at the front door. Time to stop fucking around. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-war-ag...

Amen. High taxes on the ultra-wealthy is critical. Not to pay for stuff (though in CA it will be a benefit), but because permanent dynastic wealth distorts and eventually destroys economies and democracies

Up until very recently indeed, airlines were the only businesses that I dealt with regularly that practiced "price discrimination," charging different customers different prices for the same seats.
